Hmm, hate to burst your bubble, but the other cheaper set is more practical and by that I mean works better. The knife in the nicer set has a paracord handle. The more you use that knife the more the narrow steel spine digs into your hand. Knives with a regular handle the pressure is more evenly spread on you hand less hot spots. The paracord wrap feels like sandpaper after a bit, picks up dirt and grime like crazy and is hard to clean that grime off. The hatchet has the same problem with the paracord handle. On top of that, the thin blade does not wedge wood apart enough and has a tendency of sticking in the wood tight and you have to wiggle it to get it out. The thickness of regular hatchets makes them split the wood instead of get stuck in it. The saw back on that machete does not work very well, catches a lot and does not cut well, wire saw works faster and isn't as clumsy to use, also does not catch nearly as much.
The cheaper set has a more traditional design features to it, more practical and proven. The other set has more of the trendy design features to it that the manufacturer thinks catches the public's eye more. But certainly does not work as efficiently.

Perfectly fits over $35 for free shipping when you buy two. I know several friends and family members that will be glad to receive these as gifts. Thanks for posting!
careful. i was lambasted when i posted this set earlier because it has paracord on the handles. haha. guy called it non-traditional and preferred the set that literally had a bread knife hidden in the handle of the hatchet. i'm still in shock.

Think about it from his perspective...you can't cut bread with paracord

The camo set appears to have plastic handles instead of paracord. As to Ozark Trail gear, I think if you're serious about camping and hiking you might get more value with higher-end gear.
thanks OP. Also on sale at Walmart cast iron pan set (8", 10.5", 12") for $14.88 and head lamps for $1. If you get the tool set, cast iron set and 3 headlamps = no shipping ($35.76 before tax)

Don't mean to "lambast", but

1. Why did you put lambast in quotes?
2. Yes, this is the exact post I'm talking about. All of that to say, I think a bread knife built into the handle of a hatchet is literally more traditional than wrapping paracord around a handle, which I feel is trendy. Somehow that was the top voted comment on the bread knife hatchet set post. Slick deals is an amazing place sometimes.
So it's just the steel under that paracord in those handles?
Obvious comfort issues aside, why would you force yourself to prioritize like that in an emergency?
Would it not make more sense to have paracord separate, or wrapped around something in a non essential way?
I've seen people wrap water bottles or lighters in paracord, and the lighter or water bottle can still be used if you take the paracord off. With this set though...
"Boy, I'd love to cut more firewood so I don't freeze to death, but I would have to take this makeshift tent down so I could re-wrap the hatchet handle."
EDIT:
Oh, I missed that this thing comes with a separate bundle of paracord. So then there's just the comfort aspect. I suppose you could bolster the handles with the additional paracord?
It still doesn't make sense to me to make a handle that way.
